Version 0.6.0.1

[Digit]

This is a small bug fix/experimental release.

Fixed ignoring call information
In rare cases the Fritz!Box can send multiple lines of call information in one go.
Only the first line was processed, the rest was ignored.
Special thanks to sddroog for providing the info that enabled me to fix this.

Experimental: Caller Information
By adding this line to your FBF.INI:

Code: Select all

CallerInfo=True

the Plug-In will try to find a name for the external phone number.
Removing this line again will disable it; the ini-file is checked with every phone-call so no need to restart anything after editing the ini file.
This is experimental! So don't complain, you've been warned. I've tested it here this evening and it worked ok.

Plug-In Script Command (Alexander )
Defined as: Public Function AnonymousDisplay() As String
This function will return the "Display anonymous Caller as" Plug-In setting.

You can find the latest version of the Plug-In here

CallerID is not working with outgoing calls (no incoming calls tested yet). Where do you retrieve the information from, FritzBox or the internet? If you try to receive from the FB, like Alexander's script, then it might not be working because I have a password on the FB.

I forgot to include information about where to look..
There should be a FBF_CallerID.log in the Homeseer directory where you can see the phone number and if found, a name.
I use the internet.

There should be a FBF_CallerID.log in the Homeseer directory where you can see the phone number and if found, a name.

I can't find any file called like that.

A few things that can go wrong:

- CallerInfo=true won't work (case sensitive)
- it is the first line in your FBF.ini (should appear after [Startup])
- Anonymous calls

If that doesn't help, enable debugmode of the plugin, restart HS and the FBF.log should mention:
13-1-2010 18:44:04 CallerInfo not enabled
with every incoming/outgoing non-anonymous call.
If that ain't happening either, something's REALLY going wrong

Thanks for the updated version. Great to see that there is some progress on the callerinfo! The callerinfo file is being created here, I will see in the next couple of days/weeks if all works as expected.

However... I still see duplicate entries for a single call. I will email you with the details.

OK, it's working now. I'm giving it a try and will give you feedback soon.

Caller-ID works fine. Could you update the plugin so that the names will show up in the virtual devices? And would it be possible to extend the caller-ID look-up to German and Belgian numbers?

Thanks for the info!
Currently i am using http://www.nummerboek.com as CallerID search engine, but i've already received information that this site is not always correct.
And adding other foreign services to query is something i have to look at how to do in a flexible way.

I am thinking of making this user configurable; as in you as user being able to specify a couple of internet sites you want the plugin to query that will fit your needs; so you will not be bound to the sites i build into the Plug-In.

Besides that, i am making progress with retrieving Phonebook and Call information from the Fritz:

Code: Select all

- <Calls id="2">
  <Type>1</Type> 
  <Date>15.01.10 16:30</Date> 
  <Number>1234567890</Number> 
  <Port>0</Port> 
  <Duration>0:22</Duration> 
  <Route>1</Route> 
  <RouteType>1</RouteType> 
  <Name>J. Doe</Name> 
  <FonbookType>mobile</FonbookType> 
  </Calls>

So that will also become a source for identifying the caller, as i already mentioned here
